The new EXP requirements will be 40k XP (down from 50k) for credits and 70k XP (down from 80k)! Great news.

[TheVexified]

These patches with the kill cam feel like they should have been implemented years ago! Finally WG making some real impactful decisions.

Hey QB, this Tour Of Duty rework is not a bonus (like, clan members get a nice tank), it's literally killing any ability for casual clans to get resources and turn them into clan reserves. A "low effort clan" as you say it is pointless, the rework means missions will need to be done in platoons, daily, and their requirements are ridiculous (someone mentioned 5500 assistance for platoon members in a game).

It's not sth CCs like you see because you're not in clans and don't focus on how they grind resources and what this change actually means. WG is butchering casual clans, scourged ground, nothing left.

If you have any rental tanks that you can claim from drops, get them now. After the update, put the crew into the barracks, so that the free crew they come with will convert to books. This also applies to reward premium tanks that came with a crew that you don't play with.

[ArchangelThunderbird]

the tour of duty changes are actually very concerning as they give less industry resources, make missions more of the a job you have to clock in daily for full reward and this might likely severely hurt social clans that are not taking part in skirmishes or other clan modes.

10:30 Now I feel stupid dismissing so many unneeded crew members over the past decade ... :|

[watcher]

Darn...I dismissed several crews in the past since I don't used them.

[robbby]

The crew book convert is a 1 time thing. I had over 100 bunks full of crew at 83%, converted them to books on the test server. I then went through all the reward and loot box tanks I had and put the crew into the mostly empty barracks. I had over 100 bunks filled again, but the convert option was not available anymore.
I think you will have to enlarge the barracks ahead of time, and move all the crew out of the tanks before the update.
In my case, I would have to spend 2100 gold to get enough bunks.

[vladimirhlocky]

I feel like maps in WoT, especially new ones, are becoming variations of just the same 'universal map' archetype. There's the 'corridor shootout' for HTs, the 'field' for LTs, the 'symmetrical bushlines' for TDs... The OG maps like Prokhorovka or Malinovka still feel unique after all these years.

[Mike]

So as a person who has limited barracks space and keeps deleting old crews, I'm getting no compensation for any of those and I'm not getting compensation for the trained out crews that I'm actually using.

Excellent.

from expanded patch notes at bottom of article after map changes before tank changes:

Expirable Personal Reserves
A new type of Personal Reserves is being introduced: Expirable Personal Reserves.

An Expirable Personal Reserve works like a regular Personal Reserve, but will be removed from the player's account if not used within a set number of days. Please note that this functionality will not be available for now.

[joezaldivar]

@QB here is the trick with the crew being 100% is that when you transfer a crew to the next tree is that you can use the crew books right away whereas before you had to grind out that exp crew member to 100% to use a crew book

[nougan_gamer]

18:10 Wow, QB, thanks for pointing this out, WG is sneakily squeezing in this scummy change! Thought this is a good change but now I know it's actually not. I'm mostly F2P and that's exactly what I do everytime when I try to retrain a crew from 1 tank to another now, to ensure they'll still be 100% Major Qualification without spending any gold. I make sure my crew has a good margin of unassigned skill/perk XP or just reset their crew skills to their skills/perks already assigned, and use a few crew books to boost them up if needed, so when I retrain them, the unassigned skill/perk xp will be used to absorb the overall XP penalty. Guess we can't do that anymore... wow, this is a big nerf!

[juanzulu]

The change will make it much more expensive by xp if u retrain within one branch (like medium crew to a new medium tank).

Or is the former branch type (like medium crew to a new medium tank) somehow incorporated into the new perk efficiency?

[Phaevryn]

I'd get back into WoT if tier 8 wouldn't be so toxic with Borasques and ELEVEN 90s etc.

[SaintDorado]

Great so I basically get punished for clearing out my barracks frequently. Probably missing out on a hundred crew members worth of books or so. Nice...

[gordon]

Damn I’ve dismissed all my crews from previous tech tree tanks etc

[jerome]

The killcam is good but it should be on every shells shot and received. Some mods do that for years...

[looneybinsin]

i like how they add weak spots to minotauro i think other tanks that are impossible to should also get some sort of weak spot
